Outlook 2003 Calendar Naming/Properties

Hi all,
I've been learning how to script in Outlook (thanks in no small part
to Sue Mosher's book), but have run in to a bit of a problem. The
tasks I'm hoping to automate involve users that have to manage
multiple calendars, but I cannot seem to rename the calendars within
Outlook to create a distinction for my script. The calendar folders
are in different accounts (IMAP) and I have created a script where the
user manually selects the appropriate calendar folder, but I'd kind of
like to remove the need for the objNS.PickFolder call. Is there a
secret trick to renaming the Calendar folders (the file->rename option
is greyed out) or maybe a property value I can set (or read) on the
folder to help them be more distinct?
Thanks!
-Dave

Sort highest by nameI have 55 teams in A1 to A55.
I have their scores in B1 to B55.
Is there a way to list the scores (highest to lowest) but giving their team
names instead of all the numbers in order of the highest to the lowest?
Help Obe 1
Why don't you just sort this data by column B in descending order?
Select the range starting from cell B1 then just click the sort descending
button on the toolbar.
If you don't want to sort the data then you could use a formula. Are there
any tie scores? What type of values are the scores? Are they whole numbers?
Decimals?

Importing old Outlook contact data into new Outlook personal foldBackground (please bear with me here): I had a hard drive crash and no recent
backup (I know I'm an idiot!). I finally had to have a disk recovery outfit
rescue my data. However, for reasons I won't bore you with, a couple of
months elapsed between crash and recovery of old data. During that time, I
got a new drive and reinstalled the programs, like Office 2007. So I have
data in the newer installation and older data in the previous, recovered
drive.

Configuring free/busy calendar in Exchange 2003Does anyone know how to configure the free/busy in Exchange 2003 to publish
more than 2 months of calendar free/busy information on the server? I can do
it on the client Outlook but I want to change the default from 2 months to 6
months for all users.
Free/busy information is used by people sending meeting requests to
determine when you are available for meeting.
Thanks.

Outlook freezes upI just upgraded my OS to XP Pro and my Office to XP Pro.
After teh upgrades I went to Windows Update and installed
all the updates that were made since SP1 and then done
the same for Office Updates. One of the updates SP1
downloaded and then quit the install telling me to
download again and try to reinstall. When I go to down
load it says the file is already downloaded... Where is
it and how can I fix this problem?
Thanks, Fred

Entourage in his MAC PC.

Is anybody know why? Is there any tools which I could use for checking
user's sent email box to see how many emails or email details are there from
Exchange 2007?

can't create rules in outlookWhen I try to create rules in outlook, I get a message
which says the rule can't be created and to check my

because most of what I want to create would be simple to
create with the create button. I'm the only user on this

I'm using Outlook 2002.
Anyone have any ideas?

Mail Merge is the easiest way; if you're using Publisher 2007, you could
also use the Multiple Pages per Sheet option.

to switch off the To Do list or make Tasks the default view. Can I go back to

AFAIk, you can't change that. You could create a view the hid flagged
messages, so only tasks are visible.

Excel 2003 Page BreaksI e-mailed a workbook to a collegue that contained 28 worksheets.
On my PC, all the vertical page breaks were set so printing was done on one
page for each sheet.
On his machine the page break shifted to the left such that some columns
were on a second page for each sheet.
What can be done to preserve the verticle page break setting. This file
will be sent daily and we would like to not need to adjust the page breaks.
He probably has a different printer and a different printer driver. Not much
you can do about that, except work in very safe distance from the margins.

corrupted word-outlook interface or preferencesWithout any warning, some preferences for Word 2003 when I use it as the
email editor for Outlook got goofy today. When I'm in edit mode (creating a
new
email or replying to an old one), the fonts look bolder and larger than they
should. When I send the email, they look fine when received. The fonts all
look okay when I stop using Word as my email editor.
I thought that maybe a Word preference got corrupted. I've tried deleting
the Normal.dot file (for Word, since it seems that Word is at least part of
the problem) and also doing the "detect and repair" option, but I...
